Occasional constipation (so fun!) and mild heartburn...digestion is soooo slowwwww
We were traveling last week to visit family in California and it was a really good time. DD had fun being with her grandparents and aunt and uncle. It was semi-relaxing for DH and I since there were other people to play with and entertain DD. The sunshine and days by the pool were nice too. Going to miss traveling as we have no trips on the horizon with LO coming...we typically have a "next trip" planned since DH's family lives out of state. They will probably come visit us once LO is born. It's also crazy to think about traveling with two kids.
Baby kicks, this one is super active, like DD.

I can’t sleep! And even if I could, baby is so far up into my lungs that I can’t breathe no matter my position. She’s very happy staying crammed inside. I don’t even look pregnant. It’s hurts. Also, I’ve reached the point where anytime I lie down, I start contracting. It’s all exhausting.
The 11th. However, it’s supposed to snow that whole week, so I might have to cancel. I’m not driving 5 hours in a snowstorm.
My brother found out. It was bound to happen. He’s been asking me for months because I was his “drinking buddy.” But I’ve been able to brush it off until this weekend. I couldn’t back my way out of the question and I wasn’t going to lie. He’s promised to keep it a secret, but I suspect he’s already told my mom, and if he did, everyone knows. Whatever.
At this point, lack of period is about it. Well, and the kicks.
Symptoms - Sleep is getting hard because of the belly but other than that I'm doing okay for now. Sometimes I get a charlie horse or heartburn but this baby has been the easiest on me so far. Which is nice as my last one. I can deal with that.
Upcoming appointments - Today I have a growth scan with my MFM and then Friday I have a regular OB appointment. I think they said I will do the repeat glucose this week as well.
R/R/Q - I need my husband and kids to do more around the house. I'm tired and feeling large and out of breath when I do too much so I need them to do stuff.
GTKY: What do you enjoy the most about being pregnant? - I love the fact that this baby stuck. I love feeling him kick. I love that it's been an easy pregnancy (which I've never had before). I love that I've reached viability. I love that my kids are old enough to enjoy this with me. My daughter saw my belly jump last night with a kick and the joy and excitement on her face was incredible. I love that this little miracle healed parts of my heart that my losses from last year broke.

@UnbreakableKimmySchmidt i did my glucose last week (still waiting for them to post the results!) So glad you had a lovely vaca!!
@SweetBriarBee Ugh hope you are ok with being outed... i had an awful work experience last week and it pissed me off. I just think each mom to be should decide when and to whom she wants to talk about her pregnancy.
With my first my doctor was a bit concerned and I had extra scans and stuff but DD was always on track and totally fine. Popped out just fine too. I went home about 25 pounds lighter than pre-pregnancy.
With DS my doctor stopped caring and called pregnancy my best diet plan. DS was 2 pounds bigger than DD and I think I ended up leaving the hospital about 15 pounds less than pre-pregnancy.
They haven't said anything this time around and it's a new doctor so I'm curious if they ever will.
I did start gaining by the end and would end up putting on a few (within 5 pounds) by the time I had my kids but overall, I think that as long as baby is on track and you aren't underweight then you'll be okay. Just my anecdotal experiences that are not at all medically or scientifically sound.

SweetBriarBee There seems to be a weird idea that once you are pregnant your body is public domain. I disagree strongly. Ive told my family bit by bit, and that my business. I also had a brother who didn't congratulate me (instead he said: About time, and walked away because he's a jerk even though i love him and he has no idea ive had 4 miscarriages and 7 ivf cycle to get here so "about time" is ridiculous!)
Family can be messy and right now we need as little mess as possible. We will stand stong together, girl!
jgil85 Heartburn is a beast! My doc has me taking zantac (i think that's the name) nightly to keep it at bay (even though i haven't had a lot tbh, she thinks it may also help my nausea??? dunno...)
